The 31-year-old country singer was joined by the pool by her out-of-workhusband Eddie Cibrian.

My oh my Mr Rimes does not look happy could it be because their awful show has been dubbed the worst show ever in the history of T.V For that lump of clay to say that he did not have any respect for the woman he chose to have 2 babies with is despictable. His parents did a horrible job raising this narcistic douc***. Leman is just as bad,and NO she does not look sexy unless you think the grinch is sexy

Toni_Soprano

What does he see in her? He’s an assss but he’s gorgeous & she’s hideous, must be her money.

What?

Ugly inside and out

Looselipz

Great body, but ends there…they’re both unremarkable and uninteresting.

MMmmm…Licky lickyLICKY!! They are both so damned hot I wish they would put out a porn movie!

Gigi

She’s an extremely masculine looking female. She even has dark hair on her upper lip. It’s obvious she works out, hence her athletic figure, but she’s not feminine or sexy . Ed’s only there for her money anyway so what does he care if they look like a same sex couple, as long as she keeps paying the bills.

Liz Anne

She looks completely miserable and he looks bored. They must be depressed over the terrible reviews their new show is getting. It was VH1′s lowest rated show of the week. I will be very happy when this d list couple goes away!

Trinz

No!! Her show was a flop?! You don’t say…. hahahaha!

Diedre

The check from Leann must have finally cleared so now JJ can post more idiotic stories on them.

Tami

@kami: Kami, you forgot to add, “His serious expression is most likely because his STDs are flaring up again, causing him considerable pain and itching. We’re guessing that he is thinking, ‘Man, I wish Leann would call off the paps once in awhile so that I could scratch my crotch in peace.’ “

Gigi

Eddie’s looking old and out of shape lately. I guess the stress of promoting a crap reality show and following your ATM around to low rent casinos is taxing. Maybe he’s letting himself go prematurely grey and packing on the pounds for another movie he’s “starring” in. Got to give him kudos for being willing to schlub out for five minutes of screen time. I actually don’t think Eddie will have to worry about his career at all after their show is over, because he won’t have one.

WHAT A JOKE

Those paps just won’t ever leave d list celebrities alone will they? Had to break through hotel security and two doors with hotel card keys but my gosh they got to them to get those awesome pics of this trick in a bikini once again. Amazing!! Persistence does pay off!! She looks just okay in a bikini…there are far better looking celebrities in bikinis that don’t parade around as much as she does. Her boobs are so far apart on her chest she has no cleavage and the sides of them are under her armpits. Her hips and butt are covered in stretch marks. Why do these sites try to make smart people think this chic is bangin? Insult to anybody with intelligence. Eddie is looking so old. Looks like he may be an unemployed alcoholic now. I guess a blissfully happy marriage can make you look aged and dumpy looking.

Gina

Her tweet was not very subtle. She was basically telling the paps where she was gonna be. How pathetic.

PiperKeegan

@WHAT A JOKE: Well now that he’s with a woman he respects( pays his bills ), he doesn’t have to worry about what he looks like, because he can just leech off of her rather than trying to get a job. From a distance or to those with low vision, LeAnn’s body probably does look good, but when you see close-ups of her bikini bottom shoved up into her butt crack, surrounded by stretch marks and cellulite, the truth is laid bare, so to speak. If Eddie’s looks keep fading at the rate they are, soon he and LeAnn will be on equal footing look wise. Good thing he lives her for who she is and not for her money or anything. They can be unfortunate looking together.

BLIND GOSSIP
The Spotlight Seeker and The Compulsive Cheater

infidelity 4[Blind Gossip] This award-winning performer’s husband has been cheating on her since the beginning of their marriage. In fact, he is cheating on her right now with another female celebrity. The identity of the mistress would probably surprise you.

Wife knows all about the affair, but is reluctant to file for divorce. That’s because this marriage keeps her in the spotlight… which is the thing she craves more than honesty or fidelity!

So she will do anything to give the appearance that things are fine, including arranging for daily affectionate “spontanteous” photo ops with the Husband to try to convince you that all is well. She calls her publicist first thing every morning to provide an itinerary of where she will be for the day. Her publicist then calls the paparazzi to ensure that they are there to “secretly” capture how devoted they are to each other and their family. Yes, it’s all done for the cameras.

The sayings are that sex sells and controversy gets coverage and certainly VH1 were betting on a bit of both with Naked Dating. To that end, last night’s 9 PM debut of the self explanitory reality series from Lighthearted Entertainment delivered – somewhat. The 1-hour Naked Dating had 826,000 total viewers with 480,000 among Adults 18-9. Not only was that 0.5 rating the best non-Monday premiere in the Viacom channel has had since Mob Wives launched on April 17, 2011 with a 0.9 but it saw huge leaps up from the last quarter.

vh1Dating had a 150% increase among the demo and a 147% rise in total viewers over the same time period last quarter. Now granted, VH1 didn’t have any original programming on Thursday nights between March 29 and June 29, but triple digit rises are nothing to be scoffed at. Then again, Naked Dating’s debut was far far behind the January 6th Season 3 premiere of Single Ladies, which pulled in 2.6 million viewers that Monday. With its 11 PM encore, the Amy Paffrath-hosted Naked Dating had a total viewership of 1.289 million last night.

The rest of VH1’s new programming on VH1 might have wanted to strip down a bit to do better. Coming after the 551,000 who watched the debut of Candidly Nicole, the 10:30 premiere of Leann And Eddie was seen by a total 374,000 audience of 374,000. The former was up 51% from last quarter among the 18-49s with 325,000 watching while the later up just 19% over the last quarter’s average in the time slot with 252,000 viewers in the demo.

Is LeAnn Rimes in cahoots with paparazzi who take all of those beach bikini pics?

NEW YORK – LeAnn Rimes has had enough photos taken of her on beaches in bikinis to star in her own calendar.

The country music singer, much maligned for her scandalous marriage to her co-star Eddie Cibrian (they hooked up on the set of a Lifetime movie while they were married to others), may not be making much music these days, but she sure is a professional at staying in the press.

Like clockwork new shots of Rimes frolicking on a new beach in a new bikini appear in celebrities weeklies and web sites.

Here she is in Maui; there she is in Mexico; here she is in Malibu.

If there’s a beach, there’s a good likelihood Rimes will be on it in a teeny weeny bikini.

Now some industry insiders are speculating that these pics aren’t paparazzi shots at all, but that Rimes is tipping off the photographers to stage the shots, and maybe even getting a piece of the action for herself.

The most recent pictures of Rimes and husband Eddie Cibrian looking picture perfect on a beach in Cabo San Lucas raised the eyebrows of one skeptical photo editor.

“Those photographs came into all the magazines and websites fully captioned and saying, ‘LeeAnn Rimes on a trip to renew her vows.’ There is no vow renewing in those pictures,” the industry insider told us. “There is no way the paps would have known she was doing that unless she specifically told them.”

“Plus the paps just don’t get access like that in Cabo,” the editor added. “They can’t get close enough to the celebrities without permission to get the quality of those photos. They were right next to her. There was no long lens. This was not intrusive in any way. This was a photo shoot.”

PHOTOS: Country music’s most stylish stars.

Pics like these demonstrate a truth long known in the magazine industry but hidden from consumers—celebrities are often in cahoots with the paparazzi.

“There is nothing news worthy about LeAnn Rimes frolicking on the beach”
- Celeb weekly editor
“There are many celebrities who do everything possible to stay out of the paparazzi’s range yet many others use these photographers as their one-way ticket into glossy magazines. More behind the scenes deals are brokered between photographers and stars than most people think,” explained Dorothy Cascerceri, Senior Editor and television correspondent for In Touch Weekly magazine. “Sometimes celebs allow photo agencies to license their personal photos and other times they contact photo agencies before leaving the house so shutterbugs can snap them taking a ‘casual afternoon stroll.’ Attention-starved C- and D-listers are most well known for tipping off agencies. The paparazzi are as much puppets to some celebs as they are nuisances to others.”

VOTE: Who wore it best, LeAnn Rimes or Brooklyn Decker?

Indeed the reasons celebrities hook up with the paps are many. One is to control the kinds of pictures released to the press. Some celebs believe that if they give just a little they can avoid the paparazzi snapping them unaware in an embarrassing situation.

Another reason to hook up with the paps is to get cash, one of the dirtier little secrets of Hollywood moneymaking. Celebrities often share the proceeds from the sales of their photographs to magazines and websites with the agency that contracts the photographer taking the pictures.

Insiders said there is a possibility that Rimes is making money off her photos, even though it wouldn’t be big time cash.

“We see her in a bikini all the time. There is nothing news worthy about LeAnn Rimes frolicking on the beach so it isn’t a big money shot,” an editor told us.“It is the equivalent of Jennifer Garner walking down the street with a coffee or maybe just a little bit more. I would say they sell to magazines for $1,000 and to websites for $100 a piece.”

But if those pictures are purchased by 10 magazines around the world and a hundred websites, that is still a nice chunk of change.

But perhaps more than the money, such shots help to bolster Rimes’ somewhat tarnished brand which took a hit when she first hooked up with Cibrian while he was married to ‘Beverly Hills Real Housewife’ Brandi Glanville.

“Her story is defined as being the girl who hooked up with her co-star when they were both married and and she stole this woman’s husband. When you see her frolicking around in the sun it sends the signal this is real relationship just like yours. Maybe it was weird how they got together but now they are just like you,” an editor told us. “There is nothing news worthy about LeeAnn Rimes frolicking on the beach but it is another reminder to anyone who will pay attention that she is happy and skinny and still married.”

Thursday night’s premiere of VH1′s LeAnn & Eddie showed us what we already knew — LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian are perfect together, for all the wrong reasons. This assessment of their shared unflattering characteristics is going to sound harsher than we mean it, but we can’t imagine there was one person who watched that premiere and came away feeling good about this couple’s dynamic.

Arrogance

The arrogance shared by this couple is palpable. If you are ever wondering what a big deal they are, just sit down, and they’ll explain it to you. They open the premiere by bragging about LeAnn’s awards being too numerous to count and Eddie’s successful 20-year acting career. From there, the rest of LeAnn & Eddie focuses on how much attention their relationship gets, insinuating that the general populous gives a rip about their marriage.

Eddie Cibrian denies asking Brandi Glanville for child support >>

Snide

Caustic, snide remarks can be humorous if delivered correctly. If not, they can come off as venomous, and this couple’s snide comments and attitude lean toward the latter. In the introduction, Eddie discusses how most people think LeAnn is a home wrecker, and she chimes in, “You forgot alcoholic, pill popper and child stealer.” She goes on to snidely mock public perception by describing Eddie as a “man whore, moocher” who married LeAnn for her money.

Is LeAnn Rimes going for “Most Obnoxious Celeb” title? >>

Rimes gets in several snide digs, and we quickly learn that this self-consumed couple thinks every move they make will be tabloid fodder. When she decides to skydive, she says that if something happens the tabloids will likely say Eddie pushed her out of the plane and took her $50 million. If only Americans cared that much about what these two do.

Gauche

We’re not prudes, and we love inappropriate humor as much as the next LeAnn & Eddie viewer, but there is something so harsh in the undercurrent between these two that their jokes and dynamic just come off as tacky at times. They talk about money way too much, which gets tasteless after a while. LeAnn says she’d “s*** herself” if she skydived, and Eddie pipes up that wouldn’t be good for the guy strapped to her (ew), but the tackiest line has to be at the end. In what should be a sweet moment (if such a sentiment is possible between these two), Cibrian tells Rimes he’s proud of her for jumping out of a plane, and then he ruins it by saying, “I would love you even if you only had $10 million.” Rimes trumps this by saying, “I would love you even if you were fat and ugly,” but then quickly says, “No I wouldn’t.” Again, this should come off as funny, and it just doesn’t.

LeAnn Rimes: Highlights from cringe-worthy interviews >>

Phony

“Phony” isn’t a word you should really throw around to describe people, but this couple comes across as so disingenuous that it leaves us with few other options. When they talk about the title of the show, Cibrian says “Eddie and LeAnn,” and Rimes corrects him and says pointedly, “LeAnn and Eddie.” Cibrian gets a long-suffering look on his face and says, “LeAnn and Eddie.” The moment is so obviously scripted it just falls flat. Then we see these two being driven to Cibrian’s movie premiere (obvious plug) and — we’re just going to say it out loud — a benefit for veterans (also an obvious plug?). If anyone else had done a veteran benefit on camera, we would be inclined to think that was a good thing, but their portrayal of themselves (not the tabloid portrayal of them) leaves us thinking these two aren’t terribly charitable souls.

Victims

The last trait these two share that makes them perfect together is their ability to play the victim card. They both engaged in activities that led to the bitter divorce of two marriages and now they are the victims of relentless tabloid scandal. Rimes makes a big deal about finally getting out of her 20-year recording contract and finally being free. Wait a minute. Isn’t that the same contract that earned her all those awards she bragged about as well as the $50 million they constantly discuss?

Were we the only ones who walked away from this show feeling like Brandi Glanville’s loss of Eddie Cibrian may be the best thing that ever happened to her?

There are a lot of people gunning for the “Worst Person on Reality TV” title — but we might have a couple of new frontrunners after Thursday night’s premiere of “LeAnn & Eddie,” the awful, smug new reality show starring LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian.

The show is marketed as “the real truth” about the controversial couple — and as those who skim supermarket tabloids are well aware, both are desperately in need of some image rehab. Rimes (country music star) and Cibrian (TV actor) have been inextricably linked ever since 2009 when they had an affair while filming a Lifetime original movie. Both were married to other people at the time.

In an unusual twist, Cibrian and Rimes didn’t deny it. Instead, they left their respective spouses and got married. What followed has been years of an astonishingly messy, personal family issue played out in a very nasty, public way — pretty ugly stuff, even for a celebrity scandal. Now, apparently not quite ready to let go of the spotlight, Rimes and Cibrian have decided to dredge it all up again with a reality series on VH1.

Rimes and Cibrian’s explanation for doing the show is this: Tabloids and paparazzi have profited off their personal drama for years, so they want to take control of the story. They feel this is necessary because Cibrian’s ex-wife, Brandi Glanville, (the mother of his two sons) parlayed Cibrian’s betrayal into a gig on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and two memoirs; in all projects, she goes into explicit detail about her former marriage. Glanville and Rimes have famously been in massive Twitter fights, while she and Cibrian feud across the tabloids about everything from child support to more cheating accusations.

Anyway, it’s pretty stomach-turning to see a family fall apart in the public eye, and not a surprise that Rimes and Cibrian want to repair some of the damage they’ve done to their reputations. Unfortunately, the show completely backfires, as they make a few crucial missteps along the way in the premiere.

First, they try to spin their marital issues as a light-hearted joke — because if you can’t laugh at your problems, then how else can you deal?! Sure, fine, except the “jokes” are actually cruel barbs aimed at their enemies, mostly Glanville. It makes them both come across as incredibly self-satisfied and generally terrible.

“Our relationship didn’t quite start off like we had planned,” Rimes says cheerfully at the beginning of the premiere, as previous tabloid covers fly across the screen with headlines like “LEANN CAUGHT IN AN AFFAIR” and “BRANDI CHEATED FIRST.” (Aww, keepsakes!)

“We were both married to other people when we fell in love,” Cibrian confesses sheepishly; the two are cuddled on a couch together. “And I know most of you think my wife is a homewrecker and a stalker.”

“You’re forgetting alcoholic, pill popper and children stealer!” Rimes pipes up, echoing rumors about the past and adding some tabloid theories about Cibrian: “And you’re also a moocher, you have no job, and you married me for my money.”

“Look, everyone thinks they really know how it is with us,” Cibrian says defiantly. “But there’s two sides to every story — and this is ours.”

That leads into the next problem — even though they claim to laugh off every tabloid rumor, they are obsessed with everything written about them. To that point, if there weren’t any tabloids, there definitely wouldn’t be a show. The entire episode centers about the fact that Star magazine published a story claiming they’re getting a “$50 million divorce.”

Wow just wow! Lucky man that Eddie!! Woohoo – KIKI IS smokin’!!! THAT IS WHY LEANN SENDS ME HERE TO USE PEOPLE’S NAMES TO WRITE NICE THINGS ABOUT HER………CHECK IT OUT I HAVE BEEN ON PEREZ HILTON FLIPPING OUT TOO……………I USED BETTY’S NAME FROM RADARONLINE TO MAKE POSTS

30 photos of Jodi Rimes, Eddie, and Kiki at a pool in Miami. Who didn’t see that one coming? It’s not like Jodi Rimes tweeted that she was going to spend the day at the pool, right?

1) Eddie Cibrian Gets Nice View of LeAnn Rimes’ Sexy Bikini Body

Actually, Eddie is checking out the other women in the pool. In the photos he doesn’t look pleased or thrilled. In the photos he is checking his phone. Jodi Rimes was tweeting the entire time, so we know she wasn’t communicating with Eddie. Who was Eddie texting?

Leann’s body doesn’t look sexy. For someone who claims to exercise as much as she does, why isn’t her body toned? Her bikini is also way too small. Her implants are falling out of her top.

“There are many celebrities who do everything possible to stay out of the paparazzi’s range yet many others use these photographers as their one-way ticket into glossy magazines.

Kiki was there too, see photos 19 and 26. She is wearing the black and white bikini. Why tell us this is a romantic getaway when once again they are not alone. Don’t you think it’s odd how Eddie never goes anywhere with Jodi Rimes without Kiki or Lizzy?

4) “Hello Miami!! I think I must go to the pool at our hotel to recharge my batteries for tonight’s show. 👙😊 I love this city!” LeAnn tweeted.
